Without much surprise, awarded by the NBA his first two trophies since ” Player of the week » to two Europeans: Victor Vembanyama (Spurs) and Giannis Antetokounmpo (Bucks). This is the second time that the Frenchman has won the title, while the Greek has already won… the 28th time.
Despite competition from MVP Shai Giljus-Alexander (40 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.3 blocks), Victor Wembanyama finally won the West. Quite logical, when we look at his statistics: 33.3 points, 13.3 rebounds, 6 blocks, 2.3 assists and 1.7 steals on average, for three wins in three games!
After “Wembey”, the author of 40 points against Dallas, on the verge of a triple-double against New Orleans and not far from “five for five” against Brooklyn, San Antonio is off to the best start to the season since… 2019/20.
Despite the loss on the clock, at the Cavs on Sunday, Giannis Antetokounmpo was untouchable in the East: 36 points, 16 rebounds, 7 assists and 1 block in three games, on 68% shooting (including 67% on 3-pointers) and 63% on free throws. Tyrese Maxey could have stolen the prize from him, but various “Greek Freak” cards in the rackets of Washington, Toronto and Cleveland tipped the scales in his favor.
